I really hope that you don't throw it away. Put it in the attic or send it to someone who has got the time to mess with it.terriblefire wrote: ↑Sat Feb 09, 2019 8:41 pm Machine is going to landfill. Don’t have time for this
A kludge is a workaround or quick-and-dirty solution that is clumsy, inelegant, inefficient, difficult to extend and hard to maintain.

Re: My CDTV Nightmare
I used to sell Amigas back in the day and it was my least favourite too, that and we hardly sold any.
If it ain't broke, test it to Destruction.
